While playing in the pool, it is almost impossible not to occasionally touch "private areas". This is even more of an issue when swimming nude. What does your family do when this occurs while playing?

Those areas are completely off limits and we never touch each other even by accident

It occasionally happens, we apologize and keep playing.

It occasionally happens but we ignore it and keep playing. It's just part of playing in a pool.

22% (62)

It happens a lot, but it's just part of playing in a pool and we ignore it.

The pool is a great opportunity to explore each other and we have fun playing together.
